📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books
To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Word That Was Missing — The Georgian ambassador has been speaking for forty minutes when the imperial interpreter Stephanos understands that the word he needs doesn't exist in Greek. Not that he's forgotten it — the word guli exists in Georgian and does not exist in Greek in the way that matters. What Stephanos chooses to say instead will shape what the Emperor understands about a people he is trying to negotiate with.
